Yes. It's perfectly normal for someone to receive a 'no-strings-attached' donation of 5 million pounds from a powerful crypto billionaire - right before they become an MP, and leader of a political party. Nothing to see here.
BREAKING: Man who used to march down the street singing hitler youth songs and go up to his jewish classmates and make the hissing sound of gas chambers realises he can use yesterday's antisemitic attack to score some cheap political points and talk about that two-tier far-right conspiracy bullshit. Classy.
OMG Rory Stewart completely dismantles the justification for the war on Iran. He calls it an illegal, immoral, and reckless disaster that is destroying the security of the Gulf, driving up global oil prices, and making the world far more dangerous.
Trump’s little ambassadors. All day long. Standing up for the draft dodger who said our forces avoided the front line. Campaigning on grooming gangs while ignoring the rape claims against Trump. Taking top dollar to slag off the UK at every turn. If that is patriotism I’d love to know what treason looks like.
Yet they oppose youth mobility schemes, rejoining the Single Market, and can barely even mention the word Brexit.
Ignore every utterance about ‘growth’ from any politician who perpetuates this idiotic self-delusion for a moment longer.
Our political class is truly third rate.
The FA agreed to scrap FA Cup replays because of “expanded European” demands on seven elite Premier League clubs who don’t enter the Cup until the third round anyway, have big squads and some will go on post-season tours or to the Fifa Club World Cup. Such a senseless, heartless decision highlighted this weekend with Non-League clubs like Weston-super-Mare, Hednesford Town, Guiseley, Southend United and others denied a replay, a chance of more revenue and potential memories for a lifetime. The Cup is a great competition, a historic institution that should be cherished and better protected. The game is about David as well as Goliath. #FACup
Today, Trump:
—Said he doesn’t “mind” if reporters get shot at his rally
—Said he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after he lost the 2020 election
—Hinted at enacting Project 2025 if he wins, promising it will be “nasty” and saying “you're gonna see things that you're not gonna believe”
—Spread baseless election conspiracy theories and said it “should be illegal” to release polls that look bad for him
In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance.
This is very sad, though we all knew it was coming. Two strong memories - 1. She was so nice and encouraging to @GraceCampbell when we bumped into her during Grace’s first year at the Fringe in Edinburgh. 2. Her C-word Trump poster on his golf course. 🇺🇸 do it for Janey RIP
Chapter 3. Standing room only (on the platform that is because no standing room left on the train for Nottingham) Police required to ask people to get off to let women with babies on. Thinking of getting on the roof and going full India
Happy birthday to my darling Da #TimothyWest, who is 90 today. A proud Yorkshireman by birth (Bradford 20/10/32).
Here’s a pic from earlier this year, celebrating Shakespeare with Ma. I’ll be seeing him later if you wanted to pass on any good wishes
